A Little Flowerpot
Here’s my last design using Lizzie Anne Designs Dreaming of Dots!
I used some of my very favorite Tres Jolie paper from My Minds Eye, and for the cardbase, I used Valley Forge Parchment in scroll tan. Inks used were Adirondack espresso, hazelnut, juniper, and shell pink.
I knew I wanted this flower on a tag, so I rummaged through my Spellbinders dies, and found this one from the Variety tags set, which was a perfect fit! Love it when that happens! LOL! I stamped and cut out another flower, added the bling brad, added ribbon to the tag, and attached the flower on a pop-up glue dot. Hmmmm so what else was I gonna do? I couldn’t come up with anything, and it was about 1am, so I set it aside and went to bed. Woke up the next morning and thought, “Oh! a flowerpot!” So, off I went to figure out how I was going to do that.
As I was looking through the different patterns of paper, my eye caught a glimpse of a flowerpot shape in the dots. Don’t ask me how I saw a flowerpot shape in dotted patterned paper–I just did, LOL! I trimmed the paper around the dots to make the flowerpot shape, then added some May Arts velvet rickrack across the top. (from Lindsey’s store which will be opening SOON!) I sponged the edges, stamped the circle of dots inside the dots on the paper, and machine stitched to the floral pattern.
So, what do you think?

Hello- just wanted to let you know you are on partial feed for subscriptions. We’re unable to see any of your great design team projects unless we click over. I dont think full feed affects any hit counts cause google reports that?
Well anyway, your blog is worth clicking over too, just takes extra time that I dont always have. Keep up the good work

I love that flower pot pocket. It also struck me how much the BG paper appears to be fabric. Just beautiful.

Wow, I love how you sponged the edge of the background, it adds to much to the card. I’d never think of doing it to the designer paper. Thanks for the inspiration. I like the little pot and the little note too. Joan, Edmonton
